OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique has been widely adopted in many wireless communication systems due to its high data-rate transmission ability and robustness to the multipath fading channel. One major drawback of the OFDM signal is the high peak-toaverage power ratio (PAPR) problem. The high PAPR results in the in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation when the OFD...

In this paper, we propose a new peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction technique by a hybrid algorithm based on a partial transmit sequence (PTS) and adaptive peak power reduction (APPR) methods. This technique is used in a system based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM has orthogonally modulated sub-carriers which unexpectedly give large PAPR and tends to reduce ...

Though the OFDM provides high data rate due to its high spectral efficiency, it has high PAPR which results in performance degradation and high out of band radiation due to nonlinearity of the high power amplifier. Partial Transmit sequence is one of the distortions-less PAPR reduction techniques which obtain the minimum PAPR signal by multiplying suitable phase factors with subsequenced subcar...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based multi-carrier systems can support high data rate wireless transmission without the requirement of any extensive equalization and yet offer excellent immunity against fading and inter-symbol interference. But one of the major drawbacks of these systems is the large Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the transmit signal which renders a st...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique used in the wireless broadband communication systems these days. It is a form of multi-carrier modulation technique. High spectral efficiency, robustness to channel fading, immunity to impulse interference, uniform average spectral density, capacity to handle very strong echoes and very less nonlinear distortion are the ...

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction is one of the major challenges in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems since last decades. High PAPR increases the complexity of analogue-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analogue (D/A) convertors and also reduces the efficiency of RF highpower-amplifier (HPA). In this paper, we present a new DiscreteHartley transform (DH...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a very attractive technique for high data rate transmission in wireless and wired applications. However, implementation of the OFDM system entails several difficulties. One of the major drawbacks is the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signals. Several approaches exist to reduce PAPR of OFDM symbols. Precoding is a n...

Long term evolution (LTE) is the last step toward the 4th generation (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. LTE has adopted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for the downlink transmission. OFDM meets the LTE requirement for spectrum flexibility and enables cost-efficient solutions for very wide carriers with high peak...

A low-complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) technique for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is presented. However, PTS technique requires an exhaustive search over all combinations of allowed phase weighting factors, and the search complexity increases exponentially with the number of sub-blocks in OFDM system. He...
